The interim government has confirmed that it has not made any decision to ban any political party, as discussions regarding the President continue. Chief Adviser’s Deputy Press Secretary Mohammad Abul Kalam Azad Majumder stated that a consensus-based decision is anticipated. He mentioned this during a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy on Monday evening.
“We expect that a decision will be taken based on a consensus. Once the decision is made, you will be informed,” Azad said. He added that the Council of Advisers is also engaged in discussions to reach a political consensus with all stakeholders, including those involved in the student-led mass uprising, as reported by UNB.
Azad clarified, “You know the government has banned the student wing of the Awami League. However, the government has not made any decision to ban any political party.”
In a related context, Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus suggested that a replica of the “Aynaghar” should be constructed in the Ganabhaban museum after his visit to Ganabhaban for the first time. Azad confirmed that, in addition to turning Ganabhaban into a museum, a replica of the Aynaghar will also be created there.
Regarding the leaked audio recording of Sheikh Hasina, Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam remarked, “I cannot comment without hearing the audio recording. Sometimes voices can be faked through deep fakes.”
On the issue of the President’s potential removal, he referenced Environment, Forest and Climate Adviser Rijwana Hasan’s comments, stating, “The matter regarding the President will be resolved through discussions with political parties.”
In a recent meeting, members of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, including Convener Hasnat Abdullah and Spokesperson Umama Fatema, met with BNP leaders to discuss the removal of the President. Hasnat Abdullah asserted, “President Mohammed Sahabuddin must step down as a situation of national discomfort has arisen concerning him.”
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) reiterated its position, emphasizing the need for the interim government to act within constitutional limits. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir stated, “We believe that all actions should be conducted within a constitutional framework without resorting to any arbitrary measures. We can’t provide the BNP’s position like this. We have a party forum, and we will clarify our stance after discussing the matter in the forum.” The party has consistently called for the government to arrange for an impartial election swiftly by implementing necessary electoral reforms.
